As an exam le of an ornament connected with the ban of the bracelet a watchhasi .been selected. 1

The bracelet consists of a band a, of leather, metal, or other suitable material, which may be of any suitable form and which may be decorated. The one end b ofthe band is provlded with a locking member, such as a stirrup or link a, through which the other end (1 of the band passes freely. The end d of the band likewise possesses a stirrup or linke, which encompasses or s ans round the band a. In the stirrup or lin e a clamping-leverf is arran ed, which is revoluble' about the pin 4 g, and t e noseh of which, on the lever being depressed, is pressed against the surface of the under band 0, whereby the end 11 of the'band' is clamped against the band a, and "consequently the size of the bracelet is determined.- In order that the nose h of the clamping-lever 'ressure-plate '5 may be provided which may e attached under the nose onthe end (i of the band or on thestirrup 6. (See Fig. 4.) The stirrup c, which may be suitably'fastened on the end I) of the band by means-of a hinge 7c, Figs. 1 and 3, is in its up er part in the form of a yoke Z. A similar locIring member in the form ofa stirrup n, having a yoke m, is arranged freely Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed November 28, 1904. Serial No. 234,557.

v is connected with the bracelet. For this purpose securing members, such as T-shaped p vots are arranged on the ornament.

When t ese' ivots p occupy the osition represented in ig.3,'theycan be pus edthrou h the recesses q of the two yokes Z and m. f the pivots p, to ether with the ornament, are turned roun through ninety degrees, the cross-pieces of the pivots 1) pass behind the shanks or a, respectively, of the yokes Z and m, and the ornament is firmly connected with the band lying tightly against the: arm. In. order to detach the ornament, the band after having been taken oil the arm is-bent slightly at its part which is under the ornament, andthe ornament is turned into an upright position, whereby the pivots p are once more able to leave the yokes lm.

In the'drawings a clamping-lever is represented for fastening the oneend of the band upon the other; Instead of this clamping lever, however, any other suitable device can be employed. Likewise the ornament, the watch, or the like can be connected with the band or strap in anyother manner.
